Papain as a sustainable and inexpensive biocatalyst was used for the first time to catalyze the Knoevenagel reactions in DMSO/water. A wide range of aromatic, hetero-aromatic and α,β-unsaturated aldehydes could react with less active methylene compounds acetylacetone and ethyl acetoacetate. The products were obtained in moderate to excellent yields with Z/E selectivities of up to 100:0. This case of biocatalytic promiscuity not only widens the application of papain to new chemical transformations, but also could be developed into a potentially valuable method for organic synthesis.
